They don't believe in 'the book', and are banished for their heresy. They end up in 'hell' where the 'demons' exist. Can they survive long enough to discover the secret of the jungle floor?
This is a neat story, I would have loved it to be better developed.
The recordings were a little bass-heavy, I struggled with them a bit, but otherwise, its a great story. Enjoy!
